The Comfort Suites/Rapid River Lodge & Water Park, Baxter, is a favorite lodging destination of travelers visiting the beautiful Brainerd Lakes Area. We’re centrally located in the area close to great shopping, fabulous restaurants, and all the small specialty shops the area has to offer. Dad can enjoy some time at Mill’s Fleet Farm, which we affectionately call the men’s mall or Gander Mountain while Mom can get absorbed in the beautiful Christmas Point Wild Rice Co. just down the street from us. Prairie Bay Grill and Catering, located right next door is distinctive in providing our guests with the best dining experience in the Lakes Area by preparing the highest quality, freshest ingredients and offering exceptional service. Once you try them I’m sure you’ll agree they are one of the Midwest’s absolute finest restaurants.

But the biggest reason people visit us is for the exciting Rapid River Indoor Water Park that’s located right inside our hotel. You’ll enjoy quality family time that is all too hard to come by in these times. We have the 240-foot body slide and a 250-foot tube slide that comes out to a Lazy River that floats you effortlessly up and down water channels that even include a rapids area and a waterfall. Don’t think for a second that kids can be too young for the Water Park. One entire half of the park is dedicated to younger children. We feature a zero depth entry on the kids end and it’s only 18 inches at the deepest. It features smaller slides and attractions that younger children are absolutely fascinated with. They’ll have a ball spraying Mom and Dad with the water hoses!! The edges of the kid’s end are very close for parents that like to keep close watch. There’s no age that is too young to enjoy our water park.

You’ll get a peaceful night’s sleep in our Serta Perfect Sleepers and all the furniture is locally made by craftsman from the Brainerd area. You really don’t need to look any further for a great Up North family vacation, we’ve got it all.
